• Do not modify the rack; replace if bent or warped

This bake element is the lower oven heating element that produces the heat needed for bake cycles, restoring oven temperature and consistent cooking performance when the original element is damaged or not heating. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity during bake cycles to maintain set temperatures for baking and roasting.
• Restores heating when a burned, broken or visibly damaged element causes little or no heat.
• Helps correct uneven cooking or longer-than-normal preheat times when caused by a faulty element.
• Direct-fit replacement designed to mount in the oven's lower cavity and connect to existing wiring.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the circuit breaker before starting any work.
• Allow the oven to cool completely and remove oven racks before accessing the element.
• Replace the element mounting screws and wire terminals exactly as removed; ensure tight, secure connections.

A replacement broil shield that protects the oven cavity and surrounding components from direct broil heat. Restores proper heat deflection for safer, more consistent broiling and helps prevent heat damage to insulation and wiring. What it does:

• Shields the oven back and upper cavity from direct broil flame and radiant heat
• Helps maintain even broiling by directing heat away from sensitive components
• Reduces risk of heat damage to insulation, wiring, and control compartments
• Minimizes food drips and splatter reaching internal oven parts during broiling

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Remove oven racks and broil element access panels as needed to reach the shield
• Handle part carefully; edges may be sharp—wear gloves and eye protection
• Follow OEM instructions and torque guidelines when reinstalling panels and fasteners

The Oven Temperature Sensor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE electric wall ovens. It is responsible for accurately reading the oven's internal temperature to provide precise temperature control and safe operation. Consistent and precise temperature readings are necessary for repeatable cooking results.  

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

• Inability to reach or maintain set cooking temperatures
• Fluctuating temperatures causing inconsistent results  
• Error codes or fault messages related to temperature regulation
• Potential safety concerns if temperatures run too high or low

Causes of a faulty sensor can be due to failures over extended usage, exposure to high heat cycles, or impedance changes due to dirt or mineral deposits. Precise temperature readings allow for confident cooking.

This OEM GE replacement sensor is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore electric wall oven models.
